Eternal Bounty shows her potential
Nephrite enhances his reputation
I'm delighted. He progressed nicely from his maiden. He travelled well today and Joseph gave him a confident ride. He was stepping up to seven furlongs and he looked to get it well. It was a nice solidly run race. He should prefer better ground.
McCreery lands race he knows well
Zaminast helps Smullen narrow the gap
She did it nicely. I'll speak to Lord Grimthorpe but it is quite likely she'll be kept in training next year as she is very progressive. We have had a wonderful year. It's also been a good year for Juddmonte. That's another nice stakes winner for them. She's a very delicate filly and we took our time with her, but patience has paid off. She could go to Group status next year. Famous Name was a bit sore and we were afraid to risk him, but we had a good deputy for him. The plan is to keep him in training.
Double up for O'Brien
Thomas Gainsborough was green the last day and I Have A Dream was very green on his first run. He was acting the maggot and didn't run well enough to learn anything but he learned today. It's only when they get into a battle that they start to learn. Seamus's horse had a battle the last day and he benefited from that. Both of them were coming home well and they'll be middle distance horses next year.
English-raider Take's It To The Max
He stays well. He's a fine big horse and he loves that ground. That's the key to him and we are delighted with him.
Smullen's treble puts heat on Murtagh
It was a good ride from Pat. The plan was to take our time on her and come home. I had a slight doubt about the mile-and-a-half, but it was a beautiful ride, the ride of a champion.
